Namhae - Fish and Ferries.

This weekend, we were able to take a Thanksgiving vacation with some friends.  We went south to the bottom of the peninsula to an island called Namhae (nahm-hey).  Even though we were only there Thursday-Saturday, we got to see and do so much!

We were planning on meeting everyone (about 10 families) at the resort in Namhae.  So we left at 11:30am and set off on the 4-hour drive.  Eight hours later, we arrived.  Without GPS, our maps didn't exactly get us there directly.  But we made it and were able to relax Thursday night.

First thing Saturday morning, we set off as a group for a fishing dock.  They were unloading sardines from a fishing boat and crating them, along with cuttlefish and some long, skinny silver fish.

Then played Capt Morgan on the giant 'jacks'.

Then we took a ferry ride to explore the 80+ islands that make up Namhae.  Only 3 of them are inhabited - the rest are too small.



And this was just the beginning!
